Is there a body briefer (no legs, just bathing suit style) that has low legs holes so my deflated gut innertube won't fall out? Seriously, they are all a little too high cut now that I have all this skin. I have to reach in while I am putting it on and rearrange things, looks/feels OK for a while but it always migrates back out the bottom! I can't stand the long leg ones, I have two but I never wear them, so uncomfortable. I want one that has very low legs like a 1950's swimsuit. Anybody else have this problem?

I only wear it when I want to look "good" (it's relative) because it is so uncomfortable when the leg holes ride up. I want one comfy enough for daily wear....this skin deal is srsly gettin' outta hand. I'm considering plastics now, for comfort.

Start: 487 lbs (8/07) Lost 81 lbs pre op on South Beach. 406 lbs at surgery (6/08). 179 post op, by 2011. I lost 308 lbs. Gained 98 while pregnant (2012-13) lost all but 25. My goal is to be 179 again!

I am having the same issue trying to find one for a bridesmaid dress next month. I have checked, Catherines, Lane Bryant, Bare Necessities. If anyone knows of any sites or has one to sell please let me know!!! Good luck Stella!!

I have this problem, and what I finally did to "contain" it is I wear my girdle backwards! It sounds crazy but it does work. The back seems to have much more material, enough that I can slip it under the panni and then it holds the whole thing up.

Hope this helps. I am hoping to get a panniculectomy soon, myself. I was hoping to wait until I was at goal, but it's down to my knees and I just can't wait.

WOW. I can't believe I did not think of this!!! I have been looking and looking for something that would not allow my panni to "peek out". Yesterday I turned my underwear around. I look and feel so much better.

I am now looking for some sort of a girdle to do the same thing with.

Thank you.

I'm afraid I haven't found one without legs. What I like is the Spanx design that has a high waist and ends just above the knee. Wish I had the money for plastics, but that will have to wait. I definitely want an extended abdominoplasty and lower body lift--my butt hangs down to the back of my knees and I just know that wihout all that extra skin I'd be a freakin' size 4, ladies!

I like the backwards idea! I have a boob cup one (not that they work, I wear a bra under it) though so I would have to get one that went just to under my bra or something.

I hate my PANNI!!!

(Still love my WLS though)

I swear, the backwards girdle works! I don't care for Spanx much -- to me they just feel like control-top pantyhose, and I was never a fan of those! My favorite girdles are ones that I bought at The Avenue. I even wear them to the gym -- anything I can do to try to tame that $#!*-ing panni!

Some days I think duct tape. Other days I think Ginsu knives! :)
